Summary

In Chapter eleven, Sinda learns the following day that Neomar has left town, apparently planning to be gone until autumn. Sinda and Kiernan struggle to figure out what their next steps should be and Sinda decides they need to see the oracle at Isidros who gave the prophecy about the princess's death.

In Chapter twelve, they arrive at the temple at Isidros pretending to be siblings with Sinda working on research. The oracles each keep a journal and Sinda hopes to read the journal compiled by the oracle that gave the princess's prophesy. However, she soon discovers the most recent volumes are not available to the public because some of the prophesies contained in those journals have not yet come to pass. They are, however, told they can have an audience with the current oracle. When they enter the temple, the oracle greets Sinda as "Princess-who-was."
